Two Hundred and Forty-Three Digging the Corner of Real Madrid
Madrid Capital Airport, Spain.
When Gao Shen came to Lucas' car, the first thing he saw was Buenaventura's eyes full of resentment.
The fitness coach also arrived in Madrid today, following Gao Shen.
Sitting in the back row of the car, as soon as Gao Shen got in the car, he heard Buenaventura in the front passenger seat start to complain.
"Gao, why do I feel that in your eyes, I'm just a tireless donkey?"
Gao Shen and Lucas both burst out laughing.
"Don't think so, Lorenzo, how can you be a donkey? A mule at best."
Buenaventura's face sank, what the hell, he's not as good as a donkey...
Lucas laughed so hard that he almost turned the steering wheel, these two guys are so funny.
"Concentrate on driving your car!" Gao Shen reminded in the back row, this is related to the safety of life.
When the car was driving steadily, Gao Shen looked at Buenaventura again, and said with a smile: "There is pressure to be motivated, and motivation to make progress. You see, you said it was impossible several times before, but in the end, no. Are you all doing well?"
"Isn't that all forced by you?" Buenaventura almost cried.
Sure enough, the bosses all over the world are capitalists, and Gao Shen is no exception.
Ever since he was fooled by Gao Shen to Real Madrid, he has never had a moment of relaxation.
When other people are fitness coaches, they just spend their days leisurely and leisurely. He is the only one who suffers the most. He racks his brains every day, and there is always an endless mind and endless things to do. , Gao Shen gave him a new problem.
No, the team said in the new season that they want to hit the Serie A championship. He is still studying the team's summer training plan, and is still trying to modify and improve it to make up for some problems of last season. He has not completely relaxed during the vacation.
But in the blink of an eye, Gao Shen brought him a new problem.
Yesterday, I sent him a material on the physical condition of Barcelona player Thiago Motta, including his recovery after right knee surgery, as well as the latest hospital examination and diagnosis results.
This is another glass man stuffed into him!
"Okay, okay, stop complaining, just tell your request." Gao Shen scolded him with a smile, and Buenaventura also changed his face, no longer frowning.
"Look, Fernando already has two assistants, and I'm all alone here."
Gao Shen understood, "You also want two assistants?"
"One is enough, I have a suitable candidate."
Well, my own people, even the recruitment is saved.
Gao Shen nodded, "Okay, I trust you, you can arrange it, but we have agreed, you have to take good care of the physical training and injury prevention in the new season, and don't make trouble."
Buenaventura's request is reasonable, because he has to take care of so many people in the first team alone, and he is indeed busy. Gao Shen also agreed to equip him with assistants, but the pressure that should be given still has to be given.
"Don't worry, I can guarantee it."
..
After talking about serious matters, the topic gradually returned to Real Madrid.
This is Gao Shen's first return to Madrid after leaving Real Madrid, and he still has some complexities in his heart.
After all, this is where his dream began.
"I heard that Real Madrid has contacted you?" Lucas asked with concern.
Gao Shen glanced at the assistant at the driver's seat in front of him, and knew that their whole family was the most die-hard Real Madrid fans.
For him, Gao Shen returned to Real Madrid to coach, and they were tantamount to returning home.
Not only Lucas, Carlo, Lopis, even Borrell and Buenaventura, etc., probably have this kind of thinking.
Spain is their hometown. If they can coach Real Madrid, why are they willing to leave their hometown?
"Butragueno called me, but I refused." Gao Shen replied clearly.
This is actually not surprising.
At this stage, if Gao Shen can give up the foundation he has worked so hard to build in Naples and return to Real Madrid to coach, that would be the biggest surprise, and that would be true love for Real Madrid!
After Capello won the league title last season,
He was still fired, mainly because the players were not satisfied with him, the management was not satisfied with him, and even the fans were not satisfied with him.
There is really no way out.
When the head coach reaches this level, even if he is not fired, he has to consider leaving.
"The current Real Madrid is not suitable!" Gao Shen shook his head and sighed.
He has feelings for this team, but in this matter, reason is the most important thing.
Why is Capello not satisfied with winning the championship?
Because he doesn't play well!
I want to win, I want to be a champion, and I want to play beautifully, please, brother, do you really think God is your fan?
Gao Shen knows the virtues of Calderon and Mijatovic, and he doesn't intend to get involved in this muddy water.
Even if one day in the future, he really wants to enter the palace for the second time and then coach Real Madrid, he will definitely wait until everyone in Real Madrid wears off this arrogance and is really forced to the point of no return before he will consider it.
With his current fame and status, is he still afraid of losing his job?
Both Lucas and Buenaventura understand Gao Shen's current thoughts, because the current Real Madrid head coach is really impossible to be, the pressure is too great, it is outrageous.
"But you just rejected Butragueno on this side, and invited someone to have dinner on the other side, is it appropriate?" Lucas was very strange.
Gao Shen couldn't help laughing, "Eating is eating, coaching is coaching, two different things."
"Stop pretending, we don't know what's in your heart yet? I'm too embarrassed to pierce you." Buenaventura was also happy.
In fact, when Gao Shen is with his assistants on weekdays, he often jokes like this, hitting and teasing each other.
But in the face of serious matters, one should be serious, one should be serious, one should be serious, and even when one should be punished, one should show no mercy.
Work and personal relationships are two different things.
"You know what, I'm saving the hope of the future of Spanish football." Gao Shen said righteously.
Both Lucas and Buenaventura snapped, and Lucas pointed out his middle finger.
I believe you big head ghost!
Before Gao Shen traveled, when Calderon was in charge of Real Madrid, I saw a saying that Butragueno was the wedge for Florentino to stay in Real Madrid. The same is true of Jose Sanchez, the director of the commercial department. .
But in fact, this statement is a bit of a conspiracy theory.
Butragueno is a legend of Real Madrid, one of the Five Eagles, and can be regarded as a representative figure of Real Madrid's retired players.
He has always held important positions in the club, such as the head of the public relations department, more like the image spokesperson of the club,
Loved by Real Madrid fans.
Such a person, no matter who becomes the chairman, must be respected.
More importantly, he is also the connection between the old players and the club. Many retired players want to work in the club through his relationship.
As for Jose Sanchez, the main reason is that Real Madrid's business development was too successful during the Galacticos period, which forced Jose Sanchez to stay in office, otherwise, the entire business sector would be in chaos, and no one dared to take this risk.
Of course, the relationship between these two people and Florentino is excellent, which is undeniable.
Although Butragueno no longer serves as the technical director, Gao Shen still contacted him directly,
Instead of going to Mijatovic.
On the one hand, it was because he had no contact or friendship with Mijatovic. He had met a few times, but they didn't say a few words to each other.
Secondly, he didn't want to deal with Mijatovic too much, there was no need for him. On the night he came to Madrid from Barcelona, he met Butragueno at Juan's Barbecue Restaurant.
The Real Madrid star looks much more relaxed.
You know, now that the league is suspended, it is the busiest time for the club management, especially Real Madrid.
After Capello gets out of class, Real Madrid must be very busy with both signings and coach selection.
But Butragueno looks very idle, obviously not in Calderon's core of power.
"Don't talk, let me take a guess."
As soon as he sat down, before Gao Shen could speak, Butragueno preempted him.
"You are eyeing our Real Madrid players."
Gao Shen has an innocent and helpless expression on his face, why does everyone look at him like this?
"Am I like the kind of person who can't get up early?" Gao Shen asked depressingly.
"It's not like, it is!" Butragueno said with a smile.
Gao Shen pretended to be depressed, who should I turn to for reasoning?
"However, let's talk about it first. Although this meal is your treat, I am no longer the technical director. I am now in charge of the public relations department, and my ability is limited. I can't make decisions on many things. I can only help you as much as possible. "
Gao Shen immediately became happy again, wouldn't it be good if I said that earlier?
"Let me tell you, I sincerely watched Real Madrid's youth players being ruined like this. I feel uncomfortable and can't bear it. Sometimes I dare not answer their calls." A bitter expression.
But soon, the subject changed, "Let's get straight to the point, are you going to sell Cicinho or Arbeloa?"
"Cicinho."
"How much?" Gao Shen asked with concern.
This Brazilian player is still very capable, the key depends on how to use it.
"At least ten million euros." After Butragueno finished speaking, he looked at Gao Shen with a smile.
Gao Shen shook his head, and he can probably guess that it is more expensive than Belletti.
"Where's De La Reid?" Gao Shen asked again.
"Not for sale, he is very popular with fans now."
Gao Shen felt a little regretful, why did he put so much effort into cultivating Dela Reid in the first place?
"Juan Mata, I want him!" Gao Shen said directly.
When he was in Valencia, Juan Mata played as a left forward, more like a front midfielder, but his best position should actually be in the midfielder position, that is, the tenth position, which is the most able to play. The position of his level and strength.
"Impossible, you don't have to think about it, he, like De La Reid, is not for sale at the club, you can't take it away.
After a pause, Butragueno said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? I've heard people say it more than once, as long as it's a player you fancy, it's not easy, because they're all passing. These eyes are very poisonous.
Gao Shen almost scolded his mother.
Vicious ass!
In the future, they might as well stop keeping so many scouts, and just stare at Gao Shen to dig people?
"Then I'll change two, you have to help me get it done." Gao Shen said very seriously.
